Screen saver Poll
Tuesday, October 19, 2004 by Keila | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
It will only let me select YES once 
I know this has been a issue for a long time . People would really like to see a screen saver section but there are problems with viruses when it comes to these type of apps.
I am hoping very much that this poll is on here because it is actually being considered and that a way has been found for the submissions to be check throughly for viruses before they are downloaded.
Good and free screen savers are very hard to find. Yes, I understand that a lot of work is put into these and that wanting them for free is asking a lot. I also figure though that a lot more work is involved in making a WB so it may not be too much to ask for.
As for looking over other sites for free screen savers, it is a very scary place to go. Way too many chances are taken and you never know what or where things are or going to be installed on your computer.
Please, please create this section so that we have a safe place to download screen savers and with the talent we have here I am certain that they will also be the best ones available.

No you can't get After Dark (as far as I know) but follow the link I provided in the post above (#41) and you can read all about it and downlaod the free predesessor to After Dark, Magic ScreenSaver and have your magic nostalgia kaleidoscope on your desktop.

Screensavers...
Ive got one question... Why?
I think we should spend time/bandwidth on something that people acually USE...Like say, Trillian.

I got this little guy stranded on an island that walks around doing crazy things. Sometimes when I'm bored I sit staring at my monitor trying to guess what the little man on the island will do next. At night I feel bad and have a hard time going to sleep because I wonder what it would be like if I was stranded on that little pixelated islanded. I have always wondered where he uses the restroom though....

We'd love to get a Trillian section but the folks at Trillian never respond to our emails.

Actually...there are tons of places on the web to find screensavers, and even though I like using them it wouldn't really matter to me one way or the other if we had them on WC. If we had ones that were WC subscriber tested and aproved to be spyware/adware/virus free that would be cool. It is probably the biggest problem when trying to find good screensavers.

Magic ScreenSaver -> After Dark
The Magic Screensaver was an incredibly successful product for Windows 2.0 and Windows 3.0 that spawned the even more successful successor After Dark for Windows. Magic and After Dark created the market for screensavers more than 10 years ago. Magic 2000 is a 32-bit update to the original Magic ScreenSaver. It has been tested on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows Me. http://www.dynamickarma.com/content/dki_products.htm
(The Magic Screensaver ran perfectly on my XP SP2, and yes I know that Berkely Systems is the company most people think of when hearing After Dark, but they did't make it.)
